Murtlap and Niffler (2/10)

A murtlap is a marine beast that resembles a rat with spikes on the back that looks like sea anemone. It eats crustaceans and may also bite for feet of any human who steps on it. It is found mostly on Britain’s coastal areas. The growth on its back is also edible, it can be pickled and eaten to improve one’s resistance to jinxes. However, eating it excessively could cause an unsightly purple ear hair to grow.

A niffler is a magical creature with a coat of black and fluffy fur with a long snout. It is very much attracted to shiny objects, that makes it very easy to locate treasures. Yet, this could also mean that it could wreak havoc if kept or set loose indoors, however it’s harmless generally.
